Looks like I have another set of books to explore. (May I admit, here, that I don't think I've read any of your books, yet?)
You may, of course; you're hardly alone. If I only talked to people who read me, I'd have damn few friends. Besides, I like that 'yet'.
Self-promotion, to some extent, is a good thing. The selections in the bookstores are not varied, and I am finding most of my new reads, these days, through my LJ and Blogspot connections.
Yup - the changes in the industry don't only affect those professionally engaged in it. We readers have to find - or make - new pathways to what we want. Is it a happy coincidence, I wonder, that the internet came along just in time?
I noted up an entry that the launching went well. I'm so glad!
Sorry, that was me being confusing. What I meant was, arranging to have a launch party was a good thing, an achievement. The launch itself isn't for another three weeks. It'll take me that long to whip up an audience (or at least it feels that way; send out a bunch of invites, and all you hear back is 'no, sorry, can't make it').
